Does epilepsy be hereditary? How big is the impact of genetics?

Patient's question:

My girlfriend's mother suffers from epilepsy. It's not entirely clear whether she has had an episode, but I know she developed it during childhood after a high fever, which made her appear somewhat slow. My girlfriend is perfectly fine and normal. I want to ask if this condition is hereditary. If my girlfriend and I have a child, will that child be prone to epilepsy? What is the probability of inheritance? Is there a cure for this disease? Will the child become mentally disabled if the epilepsy is cured?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, although epilepsy is considered a difficult and complex disease, it does not mean it cannot be completely cured. I suggest you go to a formal hospital for a check-up. Then, based on your test results, lesion location, causes, symptoms, and other factors, a reasonable and scientific treatment plan can be formulated.
The Nanoparticle Needle Laser Micro-cision Breakthrough Therapy stimulates the treatment area with a series of biophysical and biochemical effects, producing key substances that promote rapid repair of damaged nerves. These substances are transmitted through meridians and nerves to the cerebral cortex, delivering strong stimulating signals that induce a benign effect, repairing damaged neurons and brain cells.
Stimulating meridians helps open the blood-brain barrier, blocking abnormal discharges in brain neurons, thereby achieving unobstructed meridians and clearing lesions. There is no "best" hospital—only the one that is most suitable for your condition. The correct treatment method is the best.
In daily life, maintain a positive attitude and avoid overexertion. Ensure adequate sleep. Avoid spicy and stimulating foods in your diet. Do not consume carbonated beverages or coffee—coffee is strictly prohibited. Wishing you a speedy recovery!
